There are many “certification” courses available to take and there are hundreds of youtube videos showing (sometimes improperly) how to lift a kettlebell. There are even some trainers in the fitness industry that may watch a few videos or read some articles, thinking they can successfully teach how use them. Make no mistake; improper lifting of a kettlebell can result in injury!

Out of all the options available on how to learn to use kettlebells, none comes even close to the challenging 3-day course developed by Pavel Tsatsouline, a former instructor in the Russian Special Forces. Along with passing the physical tests required during the 3-day event, a participant must show that they can properly teach others how to use a kettlebell. What this means to you is that by going to a RKC certified instructor, you can rest assured that the instructor has successfully completed 23 hours of training and has passed the tests to teach kettlebell fundamentals.

WARNING: The RKC has an extremely high standard and attending does not mean that you become certified. In fact, the failure rate is typically 20-30%. If someone says they have been to a RKC certification, be sure to check the list of instructors on Dragondoor.com to verify they passed the course.
